The actress was previously married to The Usual Suspects star Gabriel Byrne, whom she has two children with, Jack Daniel, 22, and Romy Marion, 20.

The couple divorced in 1999 but remained close, with Gabriel even attending her wedding to her second husband and billionaire Revlon cosmetics mogul, Ronald Perelman, who she later divorced in 2006 after almost six years of marriage.

According to New York magazine, the union ended disastrously, with Barkin eventually receiving $40 million in settlement from her former husband.

In 2007, she sued Perelman for $3.4 million in investment funds that he allegedly promised to put into their film production company. He was ordered to pay her $4.3 million.
